Jewish-Christian Relations

In a surprising move, Pope Francis announced today that the Vatican, after decades of silence, will open its secret archives to allow access to files pertaining to Second World War-era Pope Pius XII. Jewish groups have long accused Pius of remaining silent in the face of his alleged knowledge of the Holocaust.

Breaking Israel News is being targeted by a Christian media group that is reiterating classic anti-Semitic claims of Jewish global domination but there is a new twist in this age-old hate-speech: pro-Israel Christians are included as part of the conspiracy.

That’s the message I woke up to Wednesday morning from a friend on the west coast. A few minutes later I learned that our mutual friends, Ossie Mills, had died suddenly at 58. We chatted about Ossie, how I got to know him through a unique project he was running to bring Christians to Israel, how it was in fact Ossie who introduced us. And we consoled one another.
